Resident Companies

The School of Computing and Communications welcomes technology based companies of all sizes from the global community with the ability to grow through access to cutting-edge research.

Potential resident companies are assessed against a range of criteria, with input from Lancaster University Management School as well as technical specialists from the School of Computing and Communications, to ensure that the companies that take up residency are those that will benefit most from the unique environment of InfoLab21 and maximise opportunities for collaboration.

Businesses that have taken up residency in InfoLab21 at Lancaster University include a range of technical companies from software developers to networking specialists and search engine specialists. Some of these companies were formed with assistance from the University and involve graduates and academics.

A research consultancy company specialising in Brand/Customer interaction - the customer experience, Intersperience have over 22 years’ experience of researching and consulting on customer service expectations and performance.

Our relationship with Lancaster University has been nothing short of transformational. It has given us the opportunity to have a virtually unlimited extension of our research and development resource

Mike Cain, Director, Demopad

As a business, it’s fantastic having access to the talent pool of diverse and skilled graduates that Lancaster generates, and the internship programme goes a long way towards making it possible for us (as an SME) to recruit bright and innovative young people to join our company and build a future together.

We would like to particularly thank the Knowledge Business Centre staff and academics for all their support and encouragement during our incubation period at InfoLab21. We will never forget the time and the people there and we'll be certain to stay in touch.
